The other series to be played in the young circuit has as protagonists the champions of the Central and West divisions, that is, the Minnesota Twins and the Houston Astros, the latter started out as the great favorites to win this series and be in the World Series, The Twins were the team with the worst record among the qualified teams, but that was left behind and managed to sweep the Toronto Blue Jays in two games. The favoritism of the Astros was present in the first game, since they managed to beat the Minnesota Twins, in that first game Justin Verlander completely dominated his opponent; However, they wanted to react in the last third of the game against the relief pitching, in the end Houston won with a score of 6 runs by 4.

In the second game the story was very different, the Twins with their stellar Pablo Lopez prevailed and achieved their goal, which was to take at least one away win and try to win the games to be held at home, remember that these divisional series are played to 5 games, I still see this series leaning to the Steelers, but today's game could make the difference, because if Minnesota manages to win at least one of these two games at home, they will surely have Pablo Lopez on the mound for a fifth and decisive game, who has already shown that he can dominate the Astros at home, and if that happens it would be a real surprise, personally I would like to see Verlander and Lopez on the mound in a fifth game fighting for a pass to the American League championship series.  

Nos trasladamos al viejo circuito, como es conocida la liga Nacional, aquí los claros favoritos son los Bravos de Atlanta y los Dodgers de los Ángeles, fueron los equipos con mejor registro de ganados en la liga, el primero de ellos fue el mejor entre los 30 conjuntos que hacen vida en la gran carpa, los de la ciudad de Atlanta están enfrentando a los actuales campeones de la liga Nacional, los Phillies de Philadelphia, ellos calificaron como el primer comodín y accedieron a la serie de división al barrer a los Miami Marlins, dieron un golpe sobre la mesa al derrotar en el primer choque a los Bravos y de manera contundente, ya que blanquearon al conjunto con mejor ofensiva, estuvieron a punto de ganar el segundo juego como visitante, pero los anfitriones lograron sacar el juego de abajo y se impusieron con marcador de 5 carreras por 4, fue un juego con un final emocionante gracias a una grandiosa jugada de Harris II en el jardín central evitando de esta forma el empate, ahora la serie de muda a Philadelphia iguala a un juego por lado.

La mayor de las sorpresas es la de los Cascabeles de Arizona, quienes están a punto de hacer lo impensable, barrer a los Ángeles Dodgers, ya que dominan la serie 2-0, ambos triunfos de los del desierto han sido una copia al carbón. Prácticamente decididos en el primer capítulo y explotando a los abridores contrarios, entre ellos el estelar Clayton Kershaw, veremos que tal será el comportamiento de estos equipos, porque no me imagino una serie de campeonato sin los Dodgers y Bravos.

En la Americana no creo que los Orioles puedan remontar, los texanos vienen inspirados y ahora en casa con ganar uno de dos juegos estarían en la serie por el campeonato, lo que llama la atención, es que la división del este, la más fuerte de la liga se quedaría sin representante, por otra parte, la serie de Mellizos y Astros está cuesta arriba para los de Minnesota y hoy se podría encaminar el equipo sideral, tienen pitcheo y ofensiva para lograrlo, pero de no ganar, las cosas se van a emparejar, ya que López defendería esa ventaja en un hipotético quinto juego, en definitiva esta serie nos puede deparar muchas emociones y los mismos pienso con la de los Bravos y Phillies, veremos si el tiempo me da o no la razón.

We move to the old circuit, as the National League is known, here the clear favorites are the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers, they were the teams with the best record of wins in the league, the first of them was the best among the 30 teams that make life in the big top, those of the city of Atlanta are facing the current champions of the National League, the Philadelphia Phillies, they qualified as the first wild card and reached the division series by sweeping the Miami Marlins, they gave a blow on the table by defeating the Braves in the first game and in a convincing manner, as they blanked the team with the best offense, they were about to win the second game as visitors, but the hosts managed to take the game from down and won with a score of 5 runs by 4, it was a game with an exciting ending thanks to a great play by Harris II in center field thus avoiding the tie, now the series moves to Philadelphia equal to one game per side.

The biggest surprise is the Arizona Rattlers, who are about to do the unthinkable, sweep the Los Angeles Dodgers, as they dominate the series 2-0, both wins of the desert have been a carbon copy. Practically decided in the first chapter and exploiting the opposing starters, among them the stellar Clayton Kershaw, we will see how these teams will perform, because I can't imagine a championship series without the Dodgers and Braves.

In the American League, I don't think the Orioles can come back, the Texans are inspired and now at home, if they win one of two games they would be in the championship series, what is striking is that the Eastern division, the strongest in the league, would be left without a representative, on the other hand, the series between the Twins and the Astros is uphill for the Minnesota team and today the team from Minnesota could be on its way, They have the pitching and offense to achieve it, but if they do not win, things will even out, since Lopez would defend that advantage in a hypothetical fifth game, in short, this series could bring us many emotions and I think the same with the Braves and Phillies, we will see if time will prove me right or not.
